| 摘要： | This report summarizes results of a study of Upper Mississippi River tow maneuverability and maneuvering performance. Detailed qualitative and quantitative results obtained from simulations carried out by two experienced pilots for a selected 4.5 mile stretch of the river below Wabasha, Minnesota are presented and analyzed. Based on evaluations of the simulator by a total of four pilots, it was concluded that the simulator accurately modeled tow behavior. The analysis was directed toward determining the possible effects of channel geometry (minimum width and depth) on operational efficiency and safety. Qualitative and quantitative results both indicated a significant effect of channel width but only a small effect of channel depth. |
